The Leprechaun
The Leprechaun film series' last entry, Leprechaun 4: In Space, is a disappointment. Yes, it's set in space, but that's precisely what makes it so mind-numbingly fantastic. To put it another way, Leprechaun 4 serves as a shining example of how to take an absurd idea and convert it into something really unique. The movie is chock-full of realistic effects, imaginative killings, and Leprechaun lines that will have you rolling on the floor. Leprechaun 4: In Space is a must-see for fans of the Leprechaun franchise or horror films in general.
Pinhead
Hellraiser: Bloodline is an intriguing series continuation that also acts as a prequel. The plot takes place throughout three time periods: the 1700s, the 1990s, and the 2200s. My hopes for the fourth part in the series were low, and to be honest, I'm just here for Pinhead and the other Cenobites. Doug Bradley's performances are always enjoyable because he retains that chilly, menacing, and demonic atmosphere. This makes no logic and is tough to comprehend, but who cares about any of that? Even if you've watched Hellraiser, you should see Bloodline only for Pinhead's scenes since they're so horrific. If you like Hellraiser or any of Clive Barker's previous works, you should definitely check out this one. Even though there isn't much logic to it, it's a tremendously fun ride.
Critters
The idea of Critters 4 taking place in outer space piqued my interest. I mean, how (Space Dracula) could they possible beat the previous Critters movies? But then I saw the cast list and it simply didn't seem promising. Brad Dourif? Is that Angela Bassett? Anders Hove, the well-known Danish actor? This was never going to work for me.
When I eventually watched Critters 4, all of my worst concerns were realized to be true. The plot was poor, the characters were terrible, and the environment was a terrible rip-off of other brands' settings. When viewed from the standpoint of a fan, it is especially disappointing since the very elements that made earlier installments in the series distinctive and interesting have either been eliminated entirely or are simply not there at all. The fourth installment of the Critters series is a shambles and a major letdown.
Dracula
Dracula 3000 is one of the few awful horror films that are so horrible that they are almost unwatchable. I like hating Dracula 3000. Even though it's terrible for the whole of its runtime, the finale was a horrible cop-out that left me completely unhappy. Instead of being so awful it's good, "Dracula in Space" was so bad it's dreadful. The notion is entertaining, but the acting is poor and the conversation is intolerable. I suggest seeing it if you want to feel unhappy for the remainder of the day.
Also, Coolio. It features Coolio. Have I mentioned this?
Jason Voorhees
Jason X is the most notorious horror film sequel in which the antagonist travels to outer space. Jason Voorhees is the man, the tale, and the myth. How he entered space is irrelevant. Why he is in space is of little interest to anybody. The only thing that counts is that Jason is in space and prepared to cause chaos.
In my view, Jason X is worth seeing for easter eggs and nods to past Friday the 13th movies, as well as his metamorphosis into Uber Jason.
Although this film isn't for everyone, aficionados of campy, cheesy slasher flicks will like it.
